Hi all, 
        I'm sorry to post this little off-topic question but its my last
ressource i can rely on. 

        I need to monitor the bandwidth between 2 switches (Baystack 350-24T
with dual optical fiber exp port). I can see statistics for every port (1 to
26, including both fiber ports) when i telnet in the switch, but i would
like to have a tool that will help me to monitor the bandwidth usage in real
time and that will allow me to do some graphs or reports (something that i
can use/present to the corp. administrators and that they will understand)
on the load of the fiber link 

NB.: We are in a M$ world, no *nix boxes. If possible the tool should be
freeware or cheap with a demo version.


Thanks a lot
